  • Ep 166: Ronan Mullarney

    35:28
    Welcome to this week’s episode of PaddyTalks Golf Podcast and a chat with one of my favourite G-G-G-Galway people, Ronan Mullarney. Having won the order of merit and graduated from Alps Tour in 2023 thus securing his playing status on the Challenge Tour for 2024, Ronan looks at the game a bit different then most. Very business-like and matter of fact on his approach, we should keep an eye on this shrewd operator for the year and with his rising start in golf hopefully see him raise more silverware this season.

  • Ep 163: Part 1 - Carne Golf Links Special | Fiona Meehan Togher

    53:15
    Carne is a special place. Biblical. Spiritual. Golf on the edge of the world. It has become a place of pilgrimage for not only golfers from all parishes of Ireland, but for golfers from every corner of the globe. Is it the scale of the dunes? The rawness of the terrain or the subtlety of Hackett’s routing through the scale of sand and sea? I don’t know, but I know I need to go back. We kick off the year on the PaddyTalks Podcast with a special 2-part episode, with General Manager Fiona Meehan Togher being the guest for part one.For more, including the full back catalog of podcast episodes visit www.PaddyTalksGolf.comThe PaddyTalks Golf Podcast is Powered By ForeGolf Custom.
